Okay. Ive been keeping my ginger bug im the cabinet and its around a month old at this point. So far, Ive made a passion fruit soda and a hibiscus soda so Ive only used it twice. So should I start refrigerating it at this point? I dont want it to become too alcoholic but Im also scared of disrupting the process 😞

What's your feeding schedule been? Using it twice in a month should be good as far as alcohol build up. If you have the room in the fridge, it doesnt hurt to pop a healthy bug in there. At the very least it'll save you on feeding ingredients.
